He then moved to teaching all subjects in a Primary classroom and was promoted to supervisor and then manager in charge of curriculum programme development. Prior to joining BSB Shunyi in 2021, he was the Year 2 and Year 3 Year Level leader in his last school.
As a teacher, Chris believes in setting clear expectations and routines. Learning should develop skills as well as knowledge, promote problem solving and encourage students’ natural curiosity. One of the key reasons he was drawn to BSB Shunyi is the high standards of learning and teaching. he knows that this is a school where he will be able to improve his teaching practice, develop his leadership skills and help students achieve their goals.
Chris has lived in China for the last ten years and speak the language fairly well. He and his wife were married here in 2019. In his spare time he likes to read more about education, health and history. He also likes to play football and go to the gym regularly.
